No graphical representation of Climate Engine

[Jdgilby]

Im able to do everything in climate engine, but after successfully downloading timeseries it fails to plot. The streamgage explorer does successfully plot for me though. Im using QGIS 3.34.4

@Jdgilby In the Climate Engine Explorer panel, have you checked at least one sample frame feature and selected one time series in the metrics tab?

@KellyMWhitehead

I get through this point, hit ok and then close. Then nothing shoes up in the climate engine metrics.

I think the issue is data not existing for the given area or timeframe. On a different project I was able to get it to work. However it gives no warning if nothing is downloaded. I think something that would be helpful is to show the date range available for the metric. As of now you can only see that if you change from the default 1 year to full data range.

I still cant get anything to download in a certain project though... @KellyMWhitehead heres the test project that isnt working

Can we do a better job of recognizing this and correcting or flying a warning ⚠️?

Made a few changes I think will help:

1. data series with only one date (e.g. some of the RAP data was available yearly) was not showing up in the plot. These will now show up as a large dot.
2. The date range does not update when you move through different metric timeseries. I have added a button next to the date range controls that sets the date range to the min/max of the timeseries. We can debate if we want this as automatic behavior when you change timeseries, but for now the button is there. If you notice an empty chart, this should do the trick.

Both changes are set for 0.3.21.

In addition:

• If you still notice any datasets/variables that do not have data within a given date range, please let me know which one(s). I cannot currently catch these until I see what the api returns.
• Plotting still needs work to make it useful and functional. I am holding off on major a major revision to plotting until we decide what the final form should look like, but I will continue to make minor tweaks to ensure the data is at least showing up in the chart!
